Ranking all the Roller Coasters at Cedar Point (Sandusky, OH)

Time to rank every roller coaster at Cedar Point! Basically, if you are a coaster enthusiast or a thrill-seeking adrenaline junkie, chances are you’ve heard of Cedar Point. There is a reason why it’s called the roller coaster capital of the world! Now that Top Thrill 2 is officially open, the park has a total of 17 roller coasters in operation.
For those who are new to my roller coaster ranking videos, I break them down into categories, they range from the worst of the worst, which I call dumpster fire, all the way up to the best of the best, elite roller coasters.

The thing that sets Cedar Point apart from most other parks is that they don’t have a 1-2 punch. They have a 1-2-3-4 punch. And then their supporting lineup is pretty solid too

[@calvinpetty343]

Some might even say a 1-2-3-4-5 punch 😅 I personally don’t think I’ll be a big fan of magnum, but I’m visiting for the first time in a few months, so we’ll see!

[@iliketrains3546]

They just have an insane lineup in general. If gatekeeper or magnum were at other parks they would be probably the star attractions

[@jamesmcmanus1206]

I think only Hersheypark has a comparable 1-2-3

[@HugeRMCFanBoY-bx3od]

They definitely have the best top 5 of any park and the supporting lineup isn't just "solid" its great especially the B&Ms

[@Jhd306ck]

Pretty solid is an understatement, they have the best supporting cast in the world

[@Esylian]

First time I went on Steel Vengeance was like my life flashing before my eyes. That first dropping really got me going. I am scared of plummeting 90° drops. But hey. It's like a point where you don't wanna feel safe.

[@Giga_chad_5000]

Someone finally agrees with me, it's the "not safe" feeling that makes it fun.

[@STY5_VR]

know this is an unpopular opinion, but I really like Raptor and Gemini. They're my favorite roller coasters at Cedar Point. I'm not sure what it is about them, but they're just so much fun to ride. I love the way the track twists and turns, and the way the cars whip around the curves. It's a great feeling, and I always have a smile on my face when I'm on them.

[@EclipseToku]

Yeah I agree so much with yiu

[@kimnach]

I've always loved Blue Streak (and the Big Dipper at the long-since closed Geauga Lake)--well, let me qualify that. Back in when I was 8 ('69) I backed out of riding it at the last second. My younger sister, though, packed tissue in her shoes, and stood as tall and straight as possible to get on. She did and she was beaming. My father shamed me into going on it by telling me (in hungarian) that I was a big chicken. Full of fear I went on it. I got addicted and went on it three or four times. The tradition for a few years upon arriving at CP was always to go on the Pirate Ride first followed by the Blue Streak.

[@emc7621]

Nice vid again! Keep up the good work

[@XscreamThrills]

Thanks!

[@tyler-mu8qs]

1. Steel Vengeance 2. Maverick 3. TT2 4. Millilim Force

I worked at Camp Snoopy in 2022. Woodstock was definitely my favorite both to operate and to ride

Here’s how I’d rank all of the coasters at the park that I’ve ridden (including some defunct coasters). I’ll be returning this summer so fingers crossed I can get on TT2. 15. Corkscrew 14.

Dang what Gemini do to you

[@evan9902]

@@PRINGLE97 nothing, it’s a good ride. Just not as good or thrilling as the others iMO.

[@austintayloradt]

Spot on - my list is very similar, just switch Corkscrew and Mine Ride, Rougarou and Wild Mouse, and Raptor and Gatekeeper. I need to ride TT2 on the same day as Millennium Force to get a better feel, but for now I have TT2 at #4, the rest of the top 4 same as yours. And a side note, I have exactly the same problem with the cars on Mine Ride.

[@XscreamThrills]

Yeah those cars are too small. Maybe that can be their next refurb project

[@zaragarrison5794]

millennium force is my favorite, it was the first real roller coaster i had ever rode, previous experiences being at universal studios which has a lot of good ones, but none as intense as cedar point. i am going back in a couple weeks and want to ride the millennium force and steel vengeance

[@KatieKatDuzArt]

I totally get what you mean by those last 4! The best ride at cedar point really depends on what you like! Do you like high intensity? Speed? Air time? Force? Out of control whipping around? Launches? Drops? Quick turns? It all depends on what you like! For me it’s definitely Millennium Force. I love air time and fast, straight bits. It’s just so good. (I also haven’t ridden Top Thrill 2 or Maverick but I plan to when I go)

[@elaboratelymcc9038]

Maverick is the goat. The 90 degree whipped bank turn thing is sick and the first drop is unique. + the launches are better than old top thrill in my opinion

[@DJCBL1518]

I’m 27 and have never been able to go until this year for Halloweekends (9/29)!! So excited!!

[@XscreamThrills]

Have fun! It'll be a blast!

[@TheBigAngryHobo]

I haven’t been to cedar point since 2014. I used to get season tickets. But unfortunately I’m too overweight to go now. (Working on it) would love to try steel vengeance.

[@timk987]

For me I'd have to put Corkscrew at the bottom. I don't hate it and would be somewhat sad to see it go, but to me the kiddie/family coasters do what they are supposed to do better than Corkscrew does for it's demographic. I quite enjoy the bumpy nature of the Arrow coasters as they are from a time when everyone that rode a roller coaster, pretty much expected a bumpy ride. Corkscrews seat back are too short and hard (new trains might help, maybe CW Dragon Fyre or Bat could be a donor should the close one of them). Similarly, I would have Blue Streak higher than Valravn and Rougarou, because Blue Streak's only strike is in the ever increasingly restricting trains. While the above mentioned B&M's where computer designed to be smooth-and they fall short. Good list though, I can't rank coasters, but appreciate when someone puts a list together.

[@DevinKaschak]

My wife and i both work there currently for the season and love it on our days off we go into the park and ride as many rollercoaster we can in a day were both ride operator i work WindSeeker and she works kiddie kingdom i did start in Gemini and loved it and ny wife started at corkscrew

[@PumpkinBear]

hoping to get here this summer

[@OklahomaCoasterFan]

I totally hate Wild Mouse. The restraints push against my chest instead of sitting on the lap, which nearly broke my back on the hairpin turns. At least for me, my upper body needs to be free to move with the laterals, or I risk injury. It might be my bottom ranked coaster I've ever ridden, as it's the only one on my list that nobody could ever get me to ride again. If any more like it get built, I will happily not get that coaster credit. I feel the same as you about Magnum. I also have it at 7, however, I almost put Blue Streak ahead of it after last year's rides. Blue Streak in row 3 was giving amazing airtime. Gatekeeper is elite to me, # 4 ahead of Top Thrill Dragster, so I don't know if TT2 would top it.

[@XscreamThrills]

I'm surprised to hear of the strong negativity to wild mouse. I thought it was fine but others saying complete opposite

[@HugeRMCFanBoY-bx3od]

How I would rank every coaster including dragster and wicked twister (haven't ridden top thrill 2 but I'm guessing it would rank 2-3) 1 Steel Vengeance 2 Maverick 3 Millennium Force 4 Magnum 5 Raptor 6 Valravn 7 Top Thrill Dragster 8 Gatekeeper 9 Gemini 10 Rougarou 11 Wicked Twister 12 Blue Streak 13 Wild Mouse 14 Iron Dragon 15 Corkscrew 16 Woodstock Express 17 Cedar Creek Mine Ride 18 Wilderness Run

[@Jac0b22]

Gatekeeper is the smoothest ride there. Idk what rattle you’re talking about lol. Rougarou isn’t as head banging if you position yourself correctly. Personally I find that ride better than Valravn. I think Valravn is honestly boring. Dive coasters are not fun at all especially with all the forced trim break after the first drop

[@_owenidontknow_]

I wasn't able to get on TT2 due to the closure. But I agree with the rest of the list. Im very tall, so rougarou is more of an enjoyable experience. The wild mouse coaster lap bar doesn't really support my height, so I would switch rougarou and wild mouse. That's just personal preference, though. Steel Vengance is #1

My top 5 at Cedar Point is. #1 Steel Vengeance. #2 Top Thrill 2. #3 Maverick. #4 Millennium Force. #5 Magnum XL 200

[@silksongreactions]

I always say Steel Vengeance is like Maverick and Millennium put together. It has the crazy speed and inversions of Maverick and the height of Millennium and I think pretty much anyone who rides it will have it become their favorite

[@RealWildWalter]

I unfortunately haven’t ridden any top thrill or wilderness run, but here’s my list. 15. Woodstock Express 14. Corkscrew 13. Iron Dragon 12. Cedar Creek Mine Ride 11. Wild Mouse 10. Rougarou 9. Gemini 8. Valravn 7. Gatekeeper 6. Raptor 5. Blue Streak (hot take) 4. Millennium Force 3. Magnum XL-200 2. Maverick 1. Steel Vengeance

[@Goliath146]

Honestly on your list wilderness run would probably rank on the bottom and top thrill at number 3 or 4.

[@RealWildWalter]

@@Goliath146 nah I love magnum

[@EJNOVA]

Hopefully I’ll get to go back this year. I went last year but the girl I went with then didn’t want to ride after we arrived at the park, and I didn’t want to ride as a single rider. So, I wasted a lot of money on two day tickets. I’m still extremely disappointed about it.

[@firewoodblake1243]

I was at cedar point this weekend and was able to ride every ride (except of course TOP THRILL 2 🤬). A few thoughts: 1) blue streak is still a good coaster: 2) I prefer Maverick over steel vengeance; 3) millennium force front row is simply awesome; 4) corkscrew is pretty much unrideable at this point; 5) wild mouse is overrated; 6) gatekeeper is a great ride and very consistent; 7) valraven is good in the front row and marginal everywhere else; 8) iron dragon is a good ride for kids and people who don’t love extreme rides; 9) Gemini and magnum are on there last legs; 10) raptor is still a solid ride; and 11) it’s time for the mine ride and corkscrew to get torn down.

[@XscreamThrills]

Overall, I agree with your statement 👍🏻

[@khloeruggiero]

For me my top 3 are 1. Millennium Force 2. Raptor 3. Top Thrill (haven't had a chance to ride 2 yet!)

[@RyanMyers-zm6pt]

I was just at cedar point yesterday

[@ThousanWhite]

I would put Pipe Scream right above Cedar Creek Mine Ride :)

[@OklahomaCoasterFan]

It is a coaster, confirmed by Zamperla. rcdb is wrong...again.

[@ScottyMania313]

I think you nailed it on the head. My biggest change would be to swap Valravyn for Blue Streak. I am only doing so because I love the jank of a good wooden coaster. It's not as great at The Beast or Timbers (maybe even The Racer) in Ohio, but riding it when the sun goes down and the lights turn on is a solid tradition. It feels like it runs 10 miles faster.

[@AlphaOutlaw]

I went with friends back in 2023 and had my own list of coasters I rode and the seats and car I was in: 1. Steel Vengeance 2-1 2. Millenium Force Row 12 Yellow 3. Maverick Front Row Silver 4. GateKeeper Row 5 Body 5. Rougarou Front Row (The rattle was there, but was better to me than the shorter but more intense rattle I got on my Raptor ride that day) 6. Raptor Row 4 7. Valravn Row 2 8. Iron Dragon Row 11 9. Blue Streak Row 10 10. Magnum XL-200 2-3 (I gave a kid the magic seat and would do so again, but also got my groin crushed by the bunny-hill) 11. Wild Mouse Cheese (Our spin was too much for the entire group even though I recovered from a near black-out quickly. Having a temporary break-down while waiting for the last ride of the night might also contribute to that) 12. Gemini Red 15 Solo (Not racing really set this back while also being pretty rough that day) 13. Corkscrew Row 10 I'll need to get the Mine Ride and Top Thrill 2 the next time I go to get all of the coasters I can ride, and I'd reride everything but Corkscrew and maybe Wild Mouse if I'mnot up to that one. I'm not going out of my way for kiddie coasters though

unpopular opinion: I liked rougarou a lot more than I anticipated.. it’s actually one of my favorite flourless coasters I’ve ridden. To the contrary, magnum was absolutely too rough for me.. rougher than corkscrew in my experience

magnum has gotten much rougher over the years but I still think Rougarou is the roughest ride there still ever since it was no longer the mantis

I feel like I'm hearing an opinion from someone who doesn't (and I didn't until recently) know this ride was fully hand made, no computers and hated it's roughness And now an opinion from someone who very clearly either is alright with the roughness or doesn't notice it or was a war vet with it to be respectful because a good chunk of rides were ROUGHER than when computer programs helped make them (that were programmed by hand not ai generated) Two sides of a coin alright I enjoyed wild thing and I think magnum being the original will feel alright enough but it being a hand made coaster I'm a little worried about how good it may hold up. Corkscrew at Valleyfair started smooth opening day from what my mom said then rough and unbearable and then got smoothed out the last two years
